Dick Cheney's Wife's Lesbian Tale

[Cannikin]

(New York City) It might have gone unnoticed, relegated to a small corner of the archives, but with the focus of the nation on gay marriage Lynne Cheney's past is coming back and it could haunt the GOP through this year's presidential campaign.

Cheney is wife of Vice President Dick Cheney and the mother of Mary Cheney who is out. But, Lynne Cheney has her own lesbian past; a 1981 novel she penned called "Sisters".

It is likely mom Cheney's book which shows lesbian relationships in a positive light will feature prominently in attacks on the administration.

The book is bound to raise the hackles of conservatives. Dick Cheney has already been forced to disavow comments he made during the last election campaign that gay marriage is an issue that should be left to the states. The Vice President now joins his boss in supporting an amendment to the US Constitution to ban gay marriage.

1. oh, c'mon

"It is likely mom Cheney's book which shows lesbian relationships in a positive light will feature prominently in attacks on the administration."

Likely?

It is LIKELY?

What fuckin' nonsense. It'll be joked about a few times by some comedians and then forgotten.

With all the shit this administration has done, a stupid paperback from 1981 will "feature prominently in attacks on the administration"?

Um, no.

Now, if HILLARY did the writing - phew, they'd mention it every day on every RW outlet.

2. I heard Laura Flanders say that it was the fact that she had written

THIS book (or "a" book) that got her on to the NEA (?) (or some other board or agaency). She had chache because she had written a novel.

However, as Dick moved up the ladder, and because of what the book is about, no doubt, she dropped the book from her resume. Now, it isn't on her official resume.

So, it's kind of funny. She has turned her back on that little baby that gave her her an entre into the upper echelons of political power.

3. Bebe Neuworth should do dramatic readings from the book

on the O'Franken Factor.

6. The article states the book IS her lesbian past...nothing more implied.

"But, Lynne Cheney has her own lesbian past; a 1981 novel she penned called "Sisters"."


And I provided a link to the book....thats about all the proof I can provide.
